In an ongoing series of major world poetries (From the Other Side of the Century was the first), this anthology of new Brazilian poetry represents some of the more exciting writing being done in Brazil and South America.
"Study of Brazilian poetry from 1950-90 examines its 'seven faces' (a pun on Drummond's poem of the same name), phases, and trends. Introductory chapter reviews movement's initial phases and sets the stage for what follows: the legacy of the Modernist movement. Chapters 2-6 cover Concrete poetry and other vanguard groups, the lyricism of popular music, and different types of 1970s youth poetry. Also examines social and esthetic tensions in contemporary Brazilian poetry"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
This unpretentious book relates Amadeu's voyage through the world of poetry, hoping that some will identify with his unconventional vision.
